In other words, your job is to get others to see that object through your eyes. It has always been the job of an artist to communicate the world he or she sees to spectators \u2014 your world is not the same world they see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to get worked up about something you don&#8217;t personally care about, so you&#8217;ll certainly choose something that in some way is already interesting to you (even if you don&#8217;t think you care about it when you choose it \u2014 the <em>subconscious<\/em> works in mysterious ways!). But don&#8217;t assume, just because you&#8217;re interested in your object, that other people are too. For example, let&#8217;s say you love apples \u2014  the fruit, not the computer company \u2014  and you know that not everybody cares <strong>quite<\/strong> as much as you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_make_it_interesting\"><\/span>How do you make it interesting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you convince the rest of humanity about the awesomeness of apples? The first step, you can already guess, is to inform your intuition. You know apples are cool to the core (already a metaphor slips in!), but <em>why<\/em> do you know that? Examining your object through your sketchbook, through drawing it, researching it, and journaling your thoughts about it, which these days can include a blog.

It is instead about what the apple can <em><strong>mean<\/strong><\/em>. This search for meaning is an innate human condition, and we study it using <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Semiotics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">semiotics<\/a><\/strong>, the theory of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sign_%28semiotics%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signs<\/a><\/strong>. Anything can become a sign; that is, anything can carry meaning for the author in a semiotic condition: metaphor, allegory, subtext, abstraction, irony, formalism, or any of several pictorial, literary, or narrative devices. As a warm-up to your own search and research, identify the tropes that inform the use of the apple for each of the painters above: revisit the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/4d-media-references\/#Toward_a_Philosophy_of_Modeling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master Tropes<\/a><\/strong> for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For a comic use of a common pandemic concern, see if you can unpack the trope in this short from TeamSuperTramp.
